Be sure to check Youtube to see if anyone has put up any videos about Medical Spanish.

Good luck!

Yale University Press publishes a good book on Spanish for health care workers. It comes with a CD to help you with pronounciation:

This is the one that I had, ¿Que Paso?: An English-Spanish Guide for Medical Personnel (Spanish Edition) by Martin P. Kantrowitz, but I gave it to my brother when he moved to LA for his residency.

What if you start watching Univision? The captions are also in Spanish, if you enable them.

I homeschool and we use Rosetta Stone. We also use this http://www.livemocha.com/ It's FREE!!! Hope this helps.

A +1 for using Rosetta Stone. All others pale in comparison. Books are useless, drill based junk 99% of the time. I learned Arabic with Rosetta Stone in about 6 months. So I'm pretty sure you can learn something as easy as Spanish with it.

OR.... make some mexican friends. I learned alot of Espanol from all of the mexican, and a few south american Marines I worked with. Most are very friendly, accomodating, hard working, and kind people.
